Dragon Ball: Being able to revive means you're courting death? How naive!

Chapter 259 Frieza is not dead

On King Kai's planet, Geese, Burt, Guldo, and Recoome quickly succumbed to the fierce onslaught of Chiaotzu, Tien Shinhan, and Yamcha, and fell into the abyss of hell in a sorry state.

Seeing this, King Kai clapped excitedly and exclaimed, "Oh dear, how did you guys manage to drive away the training partners I found for you?" His tone was both reproachful and teasing.

Tien Shinhan looked puzzled, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask, "What training partner?" He turned to look at Chiaotzu and Yamcha, who also looked blank.

King Kai chuckled and explained, "I specially brought them to King Kai Planet for your training! But speaking of which, that fight just now was absolutely amazing! It got my blood pumping!" As he spoke, King Kai rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes filled with unfinished business.

……

On Namek, Goku smiled and reached out to gently pat Gohan's head, saying with a warm expression, "Alright, once Shangyun comes out, we can ride the spaceship I brought here back to Earth." Upon hearing this, Gohan laughed excitedly and danced with joy.

Suddenly, Krillin exclaimed, "Oh no, something terrible has happened!"

Gohan sat down on the ground in a panic and looked at Krillin.

Krillin said with lingering fear, "What should I do? Bulma forgot."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's tense nerves instantly relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "It's Bulma! I thought Frieza had reappeared."

Krillin leaned closer mysteriously and said in a serious tone, "You know what? Master Roshi said that Bulma is even scarier than Frieza!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. Piccolo's lips curled up slightly; though it was just a gentle smile, it was clear that he was amused by Krillin's words.

Gohan laughed so hard he almost fell over, saying between laughs, "How could Aunt Bulma be scarier than Frieza? Krillin, you're really joking!"

Sun Wukong laughed until tears almost came to his eyes, waving his hand and saying, "Krillin, if Bulma hears you say that, you're in for it!" The laughter of the crowd echoed across the island, sweeping away the tension and gloom of the previous battle.

Sun Wukong laughed heartily, clutching his shoulder with one hand, muttering, "Hahaha, oh dear, don't make me laugh anymore, oh dear, my wound is starting to hurt again!"

Seeing this, Krillin's smile instantly turned into worry. He quickly stepped forward, reached out to support Goku, and said with concern, "Goku, take it easy, don't aggravate your wound."

Piccolo stood to the side, gazing at the devastated land in the distance. His expression was calm yet tinged with emotion as he slowly spoke, "However, Namek is now in ruins. I think the rest of Namek and the Grand Elder can finally rest in peace here."

Krillin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, a look of confusion appearing on his face. He couldn't help but ask, "Piccolo, how do you know about the Grand Elder?" He tilted his head, his gaze fixed on Piccolo, as if trying to find the answer in Piccolo's expression.

Just as the group was chatting, the calm water suddenly burst open with a "whoosh," and Shang Yun shot out like a rocket, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Everyone get out of the way! Frieza isn't dead!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they exclaimed in surprise, their incredulous gazes all turning towards Shang Yun.

Klin was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. He mechanically looked behind Shang Yun.

On the rocks behind Shang Yun, Frieza stood like a ghost. He was now in a wretched state, one of his tails injured, the other half of it swaying weakly. Even so, his remaining eye burned with a fierce rage, glaring menacingly at the crowd as if he wanted to devour them alive. A suffocating tension instantly filled the air; a great battle was about to erupt.

Son Gohan was utterly shocked, muttering incredulously, "This guy was clearly hit by such a huge Spirit Bomb, how come he's still alive?"

Klin chimed in, his face filled with horror: "That's right, this is too creepy!"

Frieza's eyes were icy cold, a cruel smile playing on his lips. He extended his right index finger, pointing it squarely at Shang Yun. Shang Yun had barely finished shouting his warning and hadn't even had time to react when a blinding laser beam shot from Frieza's fingertip, instantly piercing his body. Shang Yun let out a piercing scream as he plummeted into the lake like a kite with a broken string.

"Godfather!"

"Shang Yun!"

The crowd screamed in anguish, their voices filled with grief and anger.

Frieza showed no sign of stopping; his wicked finger aimed again, and another laser beam roared toward Goku.

At that moment, Sun Wukong was distracted by Shang Yun's fall. Piccolo, quick-witted and sharp-eyed, shouted, "Old Sun, get out of the way!" With that, he rushed forward and rammed into Sun Wukong.

Goku was sent flying by the impact, while the deadly laser beam mercilessly pierced Piccolo's chest. Piccolo groaned, swayed, and collapsed to the ground with a pained expression on his face.

Sun Wukong watched helplessly as Piccolo took the fatal blow for him, Piccolo slowly collapsing with a hole pierced through his chest. He felt a buzzing in his head, as if struck by lightning. After a moment of stunned silence, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees in agony, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan roared to the sky, his voice filled with grief and despair, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his regret and anger surged like a raging tide. Looking at Piccolo, who lay motionless before him, he felt as if his entire world had collapsed at that moment, as if he had lost an extremely important part of his life.

……

On King Kai's planet, King Kai trembled uncontrollably, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, his face was filled with terror, and he stammered, "Wh...what?"

Upon seeing this, Tien Shinhan felt a sense of foreboding and quickly asked, "What's wrong? King Kai?"

King Kai swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty, still stammering, "Piccolo... is dead."

"What?" Yamcha's eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief. "But Frieza was already defeated, wasn't he? How could this be..."

King Kai looked up and sighed heavily, his face filled with fear and helplessness: "Frieza... this guy... is too terrifying. He's far more terrifying than I imagined!"
